Writing one isn't very hard. do a man on a.out to find the format of an
a.out file (which is VERY regular). Then since it is a RISC machine, you
just get each instruction and do bit shifting and stuff to get the
registers. And each instruction can be computed by the opcode. You will
need to consult the manual for the chip to know what opcode corresponds to
what bit pattern. I already wrote one for the SPARC chip, so a HP-PA should
be very similar.
